Baby Bluebirds :) & Recent Finds

Awww...5 tiny bluebird babies...kind of ugly right now...the mom & dad are busy bringing them little green inch worms to eat. We "look" when the parents are away from the nest box.

While we on our day trip last week, there was a scrapbook store next to an antique mall...so I bought a few pieces of paper. I LOVE PAPER!!! The dog paper will be fun to use. PRETTY paper also calls to me!

Recent finds between the day trip and flea market last weekend.

More paper goodies, Lu Ray plates and little finds.

Wooden bluebirds and a sweet doggie planter...

We had our garage sale yesterday and it wasn't very good. Just over 300.00...last year it was over 1,000.00
WHAT HAPPENED! Well, we had it along with the city wide garage sales, not a good idea and last year it was before Memorial day! NOTE TO SELF for next year!!!

Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be helping at the estate sale. I hope that is successful for the family.

My yard is overgrown with weeds and the grass to tall. Anyone up for yard work next week???

My computer is acting up..so I'm going to post before I lose the post! Enjoy the weekend.
warmly,
deb

Sorry your computer is acting up-I hate when that happens. What fun little potholders there and I LOVE your header. Those little bluebirds are so sweet aren't they? Ours did not make it this year- something "got them" and Mom abandoned the nest.Hope you have a great weekend-sorry the rummage sale was not a good one for you- xo Diana

Getting ready to do a ton of weeding myself this weekend! I pulled up in the driveway the other day and noticed that I had weeds in the back yard that were sticking up over my 6' gate ... yep better take care of those before I get a nasty-gram from the HOA! Love all of your little finds! Enjoy a beautiful weekend! Blessings, Cindy

Aw the bluebird babies are so sweet. Looks like you found quite a few bluebird type items too. And garage sales are a lot of work!! They are crazy around here right now. We have been going to a lot auctions. Had a blast today at one. We are picking up a few farm things for around the funky farmhouse!! I really like the face pot holder too. Take care. XOXO Love Fran.

Those baby birds are brand new. Five seems like a lot.I love paper too. It's probably a good thing that all our scrapbooks stores have closed. I miss browsing in them though.You always find goodies.I made $12 on our garage sale. We never do well. I can't imagine $3,000.The grass and the weeds are taking over here.Hugs

Lots of fun finds! The garage sales were spread over such a large area...we never made it over to your area. But then again, shopping garage sales with a little one makes you go SLOW. But we spend less money lol. Maybe you can have it another weekend this summer!

Eeek! The baby birds! I posted a pic of your Mama bird on my IG and people loved it! I also posted your Miss Kitty collection...they went nuts! lolSounds like you've been super busy. I would have thought that having your garage sale right along with the city wide would only help it! That's weird. I've been buying up a storm! I hit those 2 estates in Edina this weekend (did you?) and bought tons and tons. Half for me, and half to sell...to fund the half that's for me! hahaLet's get together again soon! Erica :)

Deb:That looks like some good stuff for a pocket letter....lol. I am working on a Paris themed tea party one right now. It is going to be hard for me to send it away, I just love it so much.Bear Hugs,Carol
